[Verse 1] Maybe that’s why I can’t shake it now That eerie thing Crawling under my skin somehow I came back home And the air felt wrong Finbar took my hand Said, “Come on, we’re getting strong” Down to the range Where the wall rang sharp Paper on the boards And a cold line in the dark He set it in my palm Like it weighed my fate And I flinched a little But I made myself stay [Pre-Chorus] No one here owns guns Not in Vahan So my stomach turned When he showed me how to stand But I need a way If they come too close Need my name still mine Need my breath when it’s most [Chorus] Holster on my hip Holster on my hip I don’t like this at all Holster on my hip Holster on my hip Holster on my hip If I have to protect me I’ll learn how to grip [Verse 2] He gave me the holster Said wear it all day On my body, close Like a promise in gray I hated that metal I hated that weight Hated what it meant And the fear it could make Still, his voice was steady Like he’d seen this scene Like a warning’s cheaper Than a wound you never clean Then he looked at me With that hard-soft face Said, “Know how to save you Before they take your space” [Pre-Chorus] I still hear the words That he said to me “Almost gave you up To the militants, see?” Then his arm came down On my shoulder slow Pulled me closer in Where the cold wind won’t go [Chorus] Holster on my hip Holster on my hip I don’t like this at all Holster on my hip Holster on my hip Holster on my hip Thank goodness for Stefan Thank goodness for this grip [Bridge] I don’t want steel To be part of me I don’t want fear To be my company But if the night comes And the dark gets bold I’d rather be ready Than be left out cold [Chorus] Holster on my hip Holster on my hip I don’t like this at all Holster on my hip Holster on my hip Holster on my hip Thank goodness for Stefan I’m learning to live this way
